    *we should bring back this thread when Lightning Bolt comes out so we can include Future Days*

    My vote is either Indifference, All Those Yesterdays, or Inside Job!

    You can't count hey foxy as an album closer. Immortality is the album closer. If that's the case you should include writers block and hummus too. So my order would be:
    release
    immortality
    indifference
    parting ways (to me, pj's most underrated song)
    all those yesterdays
    around the bend
    then the next 3 all are tied (they don't do much for me)

    and i agree, inside job is way overrated. it really bores me studio and live. that intro is just never ending!
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Parting Ways.

    Perfect ending to an album.

    "Driftin' away...."

    Parting Ways.

    Perfect ending to an album.

    "Driftin' away...."

    Man, ever since I've seen you on the forums I've been meaning to compliment you on your forum username haha. I love the X-Files and actually I'm re-watching the series on Netflix as we speak, just got through season 3 :D

    Thanks, buddy. I'm actually doing the same thing and I just finished 8. Season 6 will always be my favourite but 3 had my favourite episode: Jose Chung's From Outer Space.

    YES!!! Also, the first few episodes of season 3 are major cliffhangers haha. Idk why but it drives me nuts every time even though i've seen them many times before :lol:

    For me, it's "Release" by a mile. Ten isn't even close to being my favorite album, but "Release" is one of my very favorite PJ songs. Maybe number 1.

    "All or None" would be my second choice. Fantastic closer for Riot Act - just love it.

    My least favorite by a thousand miles is "The End". I don't really mind the song itself (though don't like it all that much), but I absolutely HATE it as a closer for Backspacer. It comes close to ruining the album for me.

    Stupid mop is listed as the last song on the album, it has to count. Writer's block and hummus aren't listed. Not my thread, but they were my rules :lol:

    You're probably not the only one. I personally hate the song, if it is even a song, but different opinions are what makes the earth turn. So hats off to ya.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
